NOBLE LIVING

My Divine purpose have been clear since I was born. I am here on this Earth to demonstrate, teach, discuss and show what the true essence of nobility means. It has very little to do with people's assumptions on titles, attributes or evening gowns (the one I'm wearing in this picture was picked up at the Swedish Salvation Army store for 20 dollars), but for the values we live by.

Yesterday when I was at the beach and had finished eating my leftover pasta and tofu stew, I threw away the container and the bottle, which I deliberately put on top of the pile so it could be retrieved to anyone wanting to recycle it. Soon enough as I was walking back towards my towel, I met a man who asked if I had thrown anything good and was soon to say he wasn't looking for food, but recyclable bottles. I said yes and he said he would then pick it up later, whereupon I asked if he wanted me to get it for him, and then I did. He looked at me in pure astonishment and asked me why I was so kind to him. I replied, because I understand the situation he's in and there is no reason for me not to be kind.

Another example is after the Norwegian terror attack, our Swedish prime minister took a vacation (not noble), but the Swedish king showed his sympathy in several ways, including visiting a scout camp (dressed in jeans and a scout-shirt) for youth to promote peace, love and cultural exchange over boarders.

Being Noble is about prioritizing people over principles.

It has many similarities with the Aloha-spirit and this is why I relate so easily with the Native Hawaiian ways and wants to promote their values to the world. Not in some attempt to turn back the clock, but as a foundation for a true global citizenship where everyone is equally worthy and respected.

Everyone deserves the royal treatment.
